A woman died Thursday after crashing head-on into a tree on Court House Dennisville Road in Middle Township, police said.

Middle Township police reported the accident happened at 2:09 p.m. just south of Goshen Swainton Road.

At the scene, police found that the woman had crashed her Honda Civic into a tree. They determined the car had been traveling south on Court House Dennisville Road, when -- for unknown reasons -- the car traveled across the northbound lane and hit the tree where the roadway curved. The driver was pronounced dead on arrival and has not been identified by police, pending notification of the family. The woman was 51 years old, police said.

The crash is being investigated by Ptl. James D'Alonzo and the Middle Township Police Department Fatal Crash Team.
